As for the movies, if I had never read LotR, ever... and if I was not a big JRRT fan... I can see how I'd be stupified into believing that the movies were remarkable. As I've said before, PJ surrounded himself with the best of the best in film making to make up for his serious lack of talent. What I saw on the screen was definitely NOT a resemblance to the story I read in the book, other than the use of character names, place names and a few minor details. The movies were a HUGE disappointment. Movies are not just pretty pictures you see on a big screen... it's more than that. And this movie was definitely NOT the LotR story by JRRT.

If by Delaurentis' Dune you mean the mini-series, hmmm.... that's a difficult one. At least PJ didn't have actors obviously running on the spot.

Besides, to even have characters/moments like Tom Bombadil in FOTR would've been ridiculous. TO ME, he does not have any significance to the ULTIMATE struggle. He is a side character that enhances the story. If I am wrong, please correct me. In closing, I agree that the movies will never be as good as the books, but it was great to see such a visual spectacle. The visuals couldn't have been better, because for me it matched almost exactly as I had imagined it in my head. I don't think that aspect could've been better or needed to change. And I certainly think that any *remake* wouldn't be better...until maybe a virtual reality type of movie! |

The extremely lame political correctness of the Administrative Warnings means that this is one mesage board I won't have to spend any more time browsing.
Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion this last time.

You prefer boards where members are allowed to abuse each other?

That was a fine "how do you do", SGH. Not in your character at all. Why did you feel it necessary to judge this member? So, this person doesn't post much, so what? And I post quite a lot, so what? Quite a lot of my posts aren't exactly what you'd call attributing to the threads I post in, but hey... they're fairly harmless.
I belong to other message boards that I don't post hardly at all on. I go, browse, see if there's anything interesting... and leave if there's nothing to add. *shrugs* I wonder if the mods and admins there think I should be sent off like you did. It's always sad to see a member go, and it's even sadder to see an admin give a fairwell so roughly. I thought you were trying to make this forum a "gentler and kinder" forum after all. |

THANK YOU!!!
Entmoot is not the personal pulpit of one or three mean people. It's about time the admins put a stop to all that. I do not believe any movie is as bad as Dune. And almost everyone else thinks LotR is the best fantasy genre movie ever. Is there a better movie in this genre? Please tell me because I have been going to them for most of my life and if there's even one that can compare, I'd like to know.
